Dell EqualLogic PS6010XV

The Dell™ EqualLogic™ PS6010XV is a virtualized iSCSI SAN that combines intelligence and automation with fault tolerance to provide simplified administration, rapid deployment, enterprise performance and reliability, and seamless scalability.

With 15,000 RPM SAS disk drives, the PS6010XV array provides high transactional and sequential performance with up to 9.6TB of storage capacity. The PS6010 line features a redesigned 10GbE dual-port controller delivering up to 10x the bandwidth per port and 2.5x the bandwidth per array compared to previous generations.

Exceptional Ease of Use

The PS6010XV is an intelligent storage array that is designed to provide rapid installation, simple management and seamless expansion.

All PS Series storage arrays include SAN configuration features and capabilities that sense network connections, automatically build RAID sets, and conduct system health checks to help ensure that all components are fully functional.

MODULAR DESIGN WITH ENTERPRISE RELIABILITY

EqualLogic PS Series arrays are based on a virtualized modular storage architecture that enables IT managers to purchase only the storage they need, when they need it — helping to prevent both underutilization and over-provisioning.

Using innovative data movement technology, all EqualLogic PS Series arrays in a SAN work together to automatically manage data, load balance across all resources, and expand to meet growing storage needs.

The EqualLogic SAN line is designed to meet and exceed the rugged requirements of the data center. The PS6010XV includes fault tolerance capabilities through fully redundant and hot-swappable components — 10GbE dual-controllers, standard dual fan trays, dual power supplies, and disk drives with hot spares.

ENTERPRISE DATA SERVICES WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST

With built-in storage features once available only to top-tier data centers, the PS6010XV enables best practice storage for every size organization.

The EqualLogic PS Series arrays include the following enterprise data services and software features with no additional software licensing fees:

Storage Virtualization

FLEXIBILITY WITH LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP

The EqualLogic PS Series arrays represent a breakthrough in storage economics, from purchase and setup to operation and upgrades. The PS Series scales on-demand and online allowing storage growth without disrupting applications. As a result, EqualLogic arrays provide exceptional flexibility at a low total cost of ownership.

Whether consolidating a direct-attached storage (DAS) infrastructure, migrating data from an existing SAN or NAS system, streamlining data protection processes, or simply adding storage capacity, the EqualLogic PS Series from Dell offers a family of proven, high-performance, self-managing storage arrays designed to meet the requirements of today’s critical datacenter environments.

EqualLogic Array Software

Each EqualLogic array ships with a powerful set of software features that help you manage, protect and optimize your data. The EqualLogic Group Manager helps streamline storage and data management across both PS Series SAN arrays and FS Series NAS appliances. EqualLogic PS Series Firmware is the foundation of the EqualLogic software family. Integrated across the entire family of EqualLogic PS arrays, the EqualLogic PS Series Firmware is a SAN operating system based on a unique peer storage architecture that:

Virtualizes SAN resources

Enables peer scalability of up to 16 arrays

Provides intelligent data management functionality

Automatically adjusts system resources

Optimizes performance

Reduces manual intervention

Also included in the firmware is the EqualLogic Manual Transfer Utility that provides a non-network replication capability to minimize the time required to transfer large amounts of data between replication partners.

Robust and scalable Access Control Policies for simplified administration

Newly redesigned GUI with search functionality

RAID policy recommendations to help promote RAID best practices

New technologies with backward compatibility including a 64-bit kernel firmware version for newer arrays and support for 4K sector volumes and 4K native sector (4Kn) drives

EqualLogic Host Integration Tools
